I had a simmilar problem with my tailgate, mine was rubbing on the bumper when it was down. I put a 4X4 along the bottom of the tailgate, backed up to a post in a parking lot and pushed it back in with a hydraulic porta power. It never looked bad and now it does not rub. Not sure if this will help, or if you desire a perfect tailgate post in the classifieds wanted section.

Ebay will be the best bet, it will take some time but soon enough someone local will have one for sale. If it was a styleside gate it would be 10X easier since SD's are the same but this will be harder to find.
